## Resource

The government is poised to unveil a bigger-than-expected income tax relief package, fueled by unexpected cash flow, while rethinking the controversial carbon tax hike amid soaring energy prices. Finance Minister vows to protect workers from tax penalties after pay bumps, adjusting brackets to prevent windfalls for small raises. All this comes as the October 6 budget looms — and with it, fresh uncertainty over the UN’s Lebanon mission, as Europe scrambles to avoid a humanitarian disaster if troops pull out.
